If you are a blues electric guitarist, or even if you are just learning to play the blues on an electric guitar, you will want to make sure that you have a guitar that suits the style.
Step forward, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard. This guitar is a blues guitarist's dream.
OK, so it's not a $2,500 Gibson, but it's not far off. And at only a fraction of the price it offers great playability, superb tone, and it looks just fantastic!
One of the things that you always want to make sure of when playing electric blues guitar is that you can produce a good amount of sustain. Typically, guitars at the cheaper end of the scale do not sustain anywhere near as well as their more expensive counterparts. But hit a note on this baby, add a bit of string vibrato and it will go on and on and on, making you feel like Carlos Santana!
This is down in large part to the solid mahogany body, the maple top and the quality of the pickups, which are nearly as good as those on the Gibson equivalent.
Make no mistake, the Epiphone Les Paul is a quality guitar, well built and made to last.
It is interesting that some well-known and respected guitarists play and endorse Epiphones, even though they could have their pick of other makes (guitarists like Noel Gallagher, Ace Frehley and Nancy Wilson to name just a few).
When I get rich, I'll buy a Gibson. In the meantime, an Epiphone Les Paul Standard will do just fine, thank you!
Mike OHara is a guitarist and guitar teacher who plays a variety of styles on a variety of guitars. He is a particular fan of the Epiphone Les Paul Standard, a guitar he often uses when giving a Blues Guitar Lesson.
Many thanks for reading our Les Paul article
